The Natural Makeup Tutorial – DIYApr 15Probably my all time favourite makeup look is sneaky makeup – undetectable tweaks that make you look prettier, more awake, less tired but still like you. Lauren is obviously beautiful before and after but I love that you can do with makeup to look at their very best. Originally posted here (with further instructions) on Rock My […] Read More
What’s in my Makeup Kit? – Primers I’m lovingApr 15I cannot help but be a sceptic when it comes to primers – they often make big claims which I don’t see when applied. Plus let’s be honest it’s a great way for makeup companies to sell an extra product to you. Saying that I do always ‘prime’ the skin so to speak before applying […] Read More
Products we love: Storing your makeup like a pro with a Z PaletteApr 15As a makeup artist, Jodie has soooo many eyeshadows, blushers and various other products that she needs to hand when she’s doing shoots or weddings. However, it’s completely impractical to lug around a million different individual pots so instead we depot our products into Z palettes which makes life so much easier! There’s tonnes of […] Read More
Products we love: Tom Ford Eyeshadow Quad Review Orchid HazeApr 15Wandering through Harrods I got drawn like a magnet to very busy Tom Ford counter. It’s hard not to get dazzled by their display – sexy, chic and screaming expensive. I was on the search for a dense darkest purple/brown eyeshadow with amazing pay off and i found this in their Eyeshadow Quad in Orchid Haze. […] Read More
Products we love: Kevyn Aucoin The Sculpting PowderApr 15Kevyn Aucoin really have nailed a perfect balance of ashy and warm tones in their The Sculpting Powder. Too ashy and you can look like you’ve got a grubby mark down your face and the warmer tones can like too orange and artificial but this is just perfection. Use lightly with an angled blusher brush […] Read More
Products we love: Aromatherapy Associates Support Breathe EssenceApr 15A combo of an overnight flight, a lingering cold, jetlag and minimal sleep meant I arrived back from NYC last month feeling really really rough. Like in bed for five days ill (this is rare for me – I will drag myself to my computer in almost any state). My cough and cold symptoms came […] Read More
Becky and Pete’s Moreton in Marsh weddingApr 15 Becky & Pete chose the very chic and cosy Manor House Hotel in the Cotswolds for their wedding earlier last year. Becky had the most beautiful green eyes so it was lovely to enhance those with lilacs and soft blush pinks shades which handily perfectly co-ordinated with her flowers! Beautiful photographs by Jo Hastings For […] Read More
Travel: My 5 favourite makeup shops in NYCApr 15During a very cold and snowy week in March I went to spend a couple of days with my ex-pat English friend Laura (and meet her new husband) deliver a couple of kgs of Cadbury’s chocolate and splurge on a large amount of new makeup kit. I’m not sure I can call this post a […] Read More
Products we love: Clinique Take The Day Off Cleansing Balm ReviewApr 15This Clinique Take The Day Off Cleansing Balm is not new but it took me a while to get my hands on it as it’s often sold out (due to popularity) so I ended up picking it up in duty free in Malaysia. It’s texture is like softened wax or butter and you get a […] Read More
Laurie and Matt’s Vintage Farm WeddingApr 15Laurie’s makeup was so much to fun to do – she went for lilac-y taupey shades to really bring out her beautiful eye colour. She was lucky enough to get married on her family farm in Worcestershire and wore two stunning but different dresses over the day. Lisa Carpenter captured the day. For more info […] Read More
